Key Takeaways:
- The sector saw outflows amounting to $240 million, primarily driven by Bitcoin, which alone experienced $207 million in outflows.
- Ethereum faced outflows of $37.7 million, while Solana and Sui recorded outflows of $1.8 million and $4.7 million, respectively.
- The United States and Germany led the outflows with $210 million and $17.7 million, respectively.
- In contrast, Canadian investors contributed inflows of $4.8 million, viewing the market downturn as a buying opportunity.
Crypto exchange traded products (ETPs) experienced outflows totaling $240 million last week, a trend influenced by recent U.S. trade tariff developments that pose potential threats to economic growth, according to a research report on April 7 by CoinShares.
Despite these outflows, the total assets under management (AUM) in the digital asset sector is showing resilience, increasing by 0.8% over the week to reach $132.6 billion.
This contrasts with the MSCI World equities index, which declined 8.5% during the same period.
Investor Sentiment Shifts, Notes CoinShares
The outflows were predominantly concentrated in Bitcoin investment products, which saw $207 million exiting, bringing the year-to-date inflows to $1.3 billion.
Ethereum also experienced remarkable outflows of $37.7 million, while other altcoins like Solana and Sui recorded outflows of $1.8 million and $4.7 million, respectively.
In contrast, more niche tokens such as Ton Coin attracted inflows of $1.1 million, indicating selective investor interest in specific digital assets, reports CoinShares.
Geographically, the negative sentiment was widespread, with the United States and Germany leading the outflows at $210 million and $17.7 million, respectively.
Canadian Investors Use Market Downturn as a Buying Opp
Conversely, Canadian investors appeared to view the market downturn as a buying opportunity, contributing inflows of $4.8 million.
This divergence highlights varying regional perspectives on the implications of recent economic developments and their impact on digital asset investments.
Interestingly, blockchain equities bucked the trend, recording inflows for the second consecutive week, totaling $8 million.
This suggests that some investors perceive the recent price weaknesses in blockchain-related stocks as favorable entry points, reflecting a nuanced approach to investment within the digital asset ecosystem.
The recent U.S. trade tariff news has influenced investor behavior, prompting a reevaluation of risk exposure in digital asset investment products.
While the immediate reaction has been one of caution, leading to substantial outflows, the overall stability in AUM indicates a sustained confidence in the long-term viability of digital assets.
